The crypto market is closely watching Bitmine's new massive purchase. The publicly traded company added nearly $237 million in Ether to its balance sheet as the price of Ethereum remains under pressure.

Intentionally destroying more than 8 million dollars in bitcoin remains a very rare act, even in a market accustomed to excesses. However, an unknown user has just sent 107 BTC to one of the most famous and irrecoverable addresses in the Bitcoin network.

The Vatican enters the debate on artificial intelligence in turn.

This initiative is still progressing in stages, with a first community sentiment vote.

Bitcoin takes the lead again in the crypto market, and Adam Back sees it as a clear signal. The CEO of Blockstream believes that altcoins and memecoins are gradually being brought back to their "real value": zero. A statement that revives the maximalist discourse at a time when BTC outperforms a large part of the market. For Adam Back, this divergence mainly reflects one reality: few cryptos would be able to sustainably retain their value in the face of speculative cycles.

Ethereum falls below 2,700 dollars, but the market refuses to give in to panic. With each pullback, buyers return to defend technical levels now closely watched by analysts.

As investors start to revise their expectations, the crypto market enters a decisive phase where every technical level could become a true test of confidence.
